UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is alarmed by a resurgence of violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Great Kasai Region, that has already displaced thousands of civilians.
According to local authorities, an estimated 21,000 Congolese - mainly women and children - have been displaced since 28 March by clashes between Luba and Kuba ethnic groups in Kasai's Bakwakenge locality.
